An effort to derive the classical Yang-Mills equation with an external color four-current density j/sup a//sup ..mu../(x) from a more fundamental theory is presented. It is shown that in the case of an arbitrary static external color charge, i.e., when j/sup a//sup ..mu../ = delta/sub 0//sup ..mu../rho/sup a/(x), the classical Yang-Mills equation follows from the closed set of classical Yang-Mills and Dirac equations in the limit m..-->..infinity, where m is the mass of the Dirac particle. In the case of the classical Yang-Mills equation with an external color current j/sup a//sup i/, i = 1,2,3, no such derivation is found.
